The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, located within the Daci'en Temple in the Jinchang District of Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), is a thousand-year-old Buddhist structure. Built under the guidance of the renowned Tang monk Xuanzang, it was designed to house the Buddhist scriptures and statues he brought back from India, making it a vital resource for studying ancient Chinese Buddhist culture, history and art. The pagoda's brickwork, which imitates wooden design, exudes simplicity and elegance. It stands as a remarkable example of ancient Chinese Buddhist architecture and a testament to the spread and fusion of Buddhist culture in China. Let's find out more about it in this video from Tang Architecture: Building Timeless Glory, an interactive digital exhibition by CGTN on architecture from the glorious era. #TangArchitecture #ChinaAsia2025
